achiness

[imacheesehead4]

has anyone experienced achiness while doing the Whole30? My legs have been aching today (Day8) without a cause--did not exercise, lift/pull, etc. It's like a dull throbbing ache in my quads...Don't know if it's caused by the change in foods?

Anyone else experience this? Very bizarre...

Hmm.. that one's new for me. I can't think of a reason for an ache, unless you're experiencing a fair amount of the "carb flu". But that usually comes with fatigue, digestive issues and general unhappiness

I am on Day 9, same thing...aching legs! Maybe carb flu but, I felt better yesterday than today.

Electrolyte or potassium imbalance? You might consider making a homemade electrolyte replenishing drink (think: gatorade minus the sugar) with sea salt and a squeeze of fruit juice. I've found that, during the hottest parts of the summer, I do MUCH better just adding a tiny pinch of sea salt to my water. I can't taste it, but I can feel it kind of. The water is somehow more...satisfying? I'm not sure how to describe it, but it quenches my thirst better than when salt is not added.
